Akka 2.2.1 Released

We are pleased to announce the availability of Akka 2.2.1. This is the first maintenance release of the 2.2 branch, containing documentation improvements and fixing several issues including:

Convenience method for looking up ActorRef via ActorSelection

Configurable dispatcher for internal remoting actors

Java support of ask pattern using ActorSelection as target

Less noisy and more configurable logging of remoting events

... and several smaller fixes.

This release is backwards binary compatible with version 2.2.0, which means that the new JARs are a drop-in replacement for the old one (but not the other way around). Always make sure to use at least the latest version required by any of your project’s dependencies. We recommend that all users upgrade at their earliest convenience. Please refer to the full announcement for more details.

The Typesafe crew is thrilled to share that Scala Days SF was just fantastic. A big thanks to all who attended. We were wowed by our awesome keynoters, speakers and volunteer staff, and it was great to feel the excitement and energy at the beautiful Fort Mason.

After an inspiring Scala Days (the next one is in Amsterdam), it's great to be able to shine some light on technologies dedicated to improving the workday of Scala developers. We recently talked about eight hot technologies that perhaps you didn’t know were built in Scala, and in the spirit of that we’re happy to highlight Takipi, a company that's making life for commercial Scala apps better. Branching out from Java, Takipi now helps Scala developers understand when and why their code breaks in production. For more details, we asked Josh Dreyfuss, who recently joined the Takipi team, to take us through it all. -Oliver White, Typesafe, Inc.
